VIA AIR(Specially Air or Sea Pouch)SECRETCLASSIFICATIONTO Senior Representative, IndochinaFROM Chief, FESUBJECT {GENERAL Administrative - PersonnelSPECIFIC Assignment of [REDACTED] and VILLIERSDATE DISPATCH NO.REF: a. SAIO 2922b. DIR 492051. Headquarters appreciates SLADE's reply to Ref b, and will make it a matter for the record. For SLADE's (and VILLIER's) information [REDACTED] has, in the course of his duties in Europe, come to the Attention of the French, probably including the UNION organization. Naturally, his former KUTWIN record is well-known to UNION and he is personally acquainted, we have since learned, with TUTOR himself.2. Headquarters appreciates, too, the probable reaction of TUTOR to the advent in the Indochina scene of VILLIERS, [REDACTED] and possibly other with similar histories. This is unavoidable and unfortunate; however, under the circumstances Headquarters considers their assignment a necessary risk.3. In a [REDACTED] that, in the [REDACTED] was assigned to [REDACTED] by ODISEX as a [REDACTED] had actually been released back to ODISEX, and [REDACTED] reassigned by ODISEX. As late dispatch is being written, those ODISEX orders are in process of being rescinded and new orders are being initiated assigning [REDACTED] to CA[REDACTED].4. In the case of VILLIERS, whose orders have just been received transferring him to Saigon, if indeed his previous KUBARK connection is known to TUTOR, it can only be stated that he, too, has been released back to ODUNIT, at their or ODFARL's request, in response to their urgent need for an experienced senior officer with his qualifications for a special mission in Indochina.FORM NO. 51-28104 1949SECRETCLASSIFICATION

SECRETpage 25. This movement of personnel from one agency to another is by no means an unheard-of thing. As you are aware, as in the case of French service officers assigned to the to the TUTOR ORG, so are selected military personnel assigned to KUBARK. Very recently two senior ODIBEX officers on the KUHOOK Senior Staff were released at ODIBEX request by KUBARK and subsequently transferred to ODTOWN, Thailand, with no further KUBARK connection.6. In spite of sincere protestations and denials on your part, we realize of course that at least some bit of suspicion will linger on in TUTOR's mind and that these suspicions will not be allayed by even the most circumspect of routine contacts between persons in VILLIER's group and members of the SIM Staff. Such contacts are bound to occur, particularly if the VILLIERS group does indeed succeed in getting an IMLARCADE program of any sort in motion. However, as we have stated, this is an accepted tisk, and we have to play the yume out, even though we cannot aзвезв the possible damage to the SIM liaison.For this recent,6 July 1954CHARLES F.
